Restrictions on Diversions - April 2010

On this page

Rosters and restrictions on diversions from unregulated streams.

At the end of April, diversions from a total of 153 unregulated streams and lakes across the state were subject to restrictions.  This is less than the same time last year when 193 streams were on restriction. 

  • In northern Victoria, Goulburn-Murray Water removed irrigation bans on two streams in the Ovens basin and one stream in the King basin.  Restrictions were introduced for two streams in the King basin.
  • Melbourne Water removed irrigation bans on six streams during April.
  • Bans on diversions from all unregulated streams in the GWMWater region remained in force.
  • Southern Rural Water removed bans for 3 streams in the Gippsland zone, and introduced or increased bans and restrictions for nine other streams in the Gippsland and Western zones.
